suggestions spacers?

I am getting 22x10 wheels. With 285/35/22 all around. I was wondering do you guys think 20mm spacers would be enough for the rear to make the 4.8 have a clean look, since the stock OEM rear tires are hugge.. I just kind of want to even it out with the spacers if i have 285's.. You guys think the 20mm spacers is enough?

Yep! 20mm will be perfect. My 22's are flush with the body.

Here's a pic, I'll take some pics for you tomorrow with some better shots..

What is the Offset on those 22x10 wheels?Assuming the rear offset is the same as your oem 20"s,you will need a least a 30mm spacer for the wheel to be sticking out as far as your oem 20"s.(You are 12.7mm thinner in wheel width and 15mm shorter in tyre widthTtotal 27.7mm).
Note that Dblock in saying that his wheels are flush with the body,I am not sure if he already has the fender flares as in your 4.8is!
